Plan on spending at least one half of a day or more here. So much to see. from old to modern and MORE! We especially enjoyed the art exhibition on Anna Bilinska, an under appreciated Polish artist of the late 1800s.

Worth seeing mostly for its wonderful collection of Polish 19th century art. Other sections include medieval sacral art (with some impressive wooden altars from Polish churches), Renaissance art / Old Masters (a rather humble selection of European paintings and an interesting collection of pottery), Polish school of design (a small, but fascinating exhibition on Polish 20th century design) and 20th century art (sadly, it was closed when I visited). Newly reopened section on the ancient times had a huge line and was rather disappointing (a very basic selection of Egyptian, Greek and Roman art - plus mummies, of course). Nevertheless, the museum is certainly worth the entrance fee. If you want to see everything, be prepared to spend around 4 hours here.





I enjoyed taking great pictures. There was so much to see we had to come back the next day to finish our visit. Know that when you buy a ticket and you didn't finish seeing everything, you can come back the next day and finish what's left with the same ticket. skip the queue! That's what we did. The staff is very strict with the visitors about wearing the mask. As for us it was a good experience.

Woman at the door extremely rude and unwelcoming forced me to strip my coat off and sighed rolling eyes.

The museum have been located quite clone to the city center and you could visit by foot from the Warsaw central place . There are many antique valuable statues and historical monuments and paints ect , which you make so grateful , The whole visiting would not get bored , well organized and displayed exhibits . There are many things for your knowledge . Reasonable ticket prices .





This museum is rather big (at least from my perspective), it is easy to loose at least a few hours here as there are so many different art pieces. For a Lithuanian person you have to see the live painting Battle of Grunwald (Matejko) (Žalgirio mūšis) that is easily recognizable for all of us. For a bonus you can find 19th century painting of Vilnius Town Hall (Rotušė).
P. S. we saw online that museum opens at 10 AM, but we could get in only at 11 AM. I am not sure if it was our mistake or some special day
